{"product_id":"courtois-reference-sib-verni-ac159r-1-0-12724","title":"Reference Bb Lacquered - AC159R-1-0","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA Modern Configuration Focused on Performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis trumpet stands out by design choices clearly aimed at efficiency and playing comfort: a \u003cstrong\u003e10.5 mm bore\u003c\/strong\u003e and an updated mechanical assembly with a \u003cstrong\u003enew piston block\u003c\/strong\u003e. The combination of an air flow described as more direct and hand-hammered rose brass components aims for a quick response while maintaining a full-bodied sound signature, ideal for musicians seeking ease without sacrificing tonal color.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFor Whom and Which Styles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its \u003cstrong\u003egreat ease of sound production\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ebroad sound\u003c\/strong\u003e, this model is well suited for \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to advanced\u003c\/strong\u003e level musicians who want a responsive instrument to work on projection, endurance, and stability. It is particularly suitable for contexts where the trumpet must carry: \u003cstrong\u003emarching band\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003epop music\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ewind orchestra\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ebig band\u003c\/strong\u003e, but also for more nuanced playing thanks to a timbre described as rich.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSound, Playing Feel, and Finishes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ehand-hammered rose brass leadpipe and bell\u003c\/strong\u003e provide a distinctive aesthetic and can promote a sensation of \u003cstrong\u003ewarmth\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eharmonic density\u003c\/strong\u003e in the tone. The \u003cstrong\u003e152 mm bell\u003c\/strong\u003e contributes to the notion of a \"broad sound,\" with generous projection. Mechanically, the \u003cstrong\u003enew piston block\u003c\/strong\u003e is designed to improve smoothness and consistency: a key point for articulation, precision, and evenness across registers. Finally, the \u003cstrong\u003e3rd valve slide trigger\u003c\/strong\u003e is a real asset for daily use to fine-tune certain intervals and secure intonation during performance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eRecommended Compatible Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo preserve the mechanics and longevity of the instrument, adding \u003cstrong\u003episton oil\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eslide grease\u003c\/strong\u003e is recommended (universally compatible for brass maintenance). For transport, choose a \u003cstrong\u003ecase\u003c\/strong\u003e suitable for trumpet size, with enough space for a trumpet equipped with a 3rd valve slide trigger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr)
